Nakhon Pathom Thailand
Nakhon Pathom is a small province located just 56 Kms.
from Bangkok. The province features an ancient religious
structure called “Phra Pathom Chedi”, the
first religious landmark that signified the influx of
Buddhism into Thailand. Nakhon Pathom is also renowned
for its abundant fruits varieties and famous dishes.
Formerly situated by the sea, the city prospered during
the Dvaravati civilisation. According to archaeological
findings, Nakhon Pathom was the first city to possess
influences of Buddhism and Indian civilisations. From
the Phra Pathom Chedi and other remains discovered in
the city area, it is believed that the city was a centre
of civilisation in that era. People of different races
settled in Nakhon Pathom. However, a change in the course
of the river caused a draught that forced the people
to migrate and settle on the banks of river, and these
communities developed into towns. The new town was called
“Nakhon Chaisi” or “Sirichai”, leaving
Nakhon Pathom deserted for hundreds of years until the
reign of King Rama IV. While His Majesty was in monk
hood, he travelled to Nakhon Pathom and found the Phra
Pathom Chedi that he regarded to be the largest pagoda
of all.
